    Don't Look Up

    This episode we will be discussing "Don't Look Up", a new star-studded flick which chronicles the reactions of America when a deadly comment is plummeting towards earth. Tommy and Emily had rather different opinions on the quality of this movie as per usual, but this time it seems Emily was almost able to sway him… What do you think? Tommy expresses his disdain for Jennifer Lawrence, surprise surprise; whilst Emily gushes over two of her favourite actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill.

    Greenland

    In this episode we discuss the 2020 film Greenland, starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, which follows a family trying to survive a planet eviscerating comet. As per usual we put ourselves in the world of the film and ponder how we'd handle an extinction level comet colliding with earth. Is saving yourself even possible, or should you just ring in the apocalypse with drinking and dancing?  Listen to find out.

    Movie Worlds We Would & Wouldn’t Want To Enter

    Today Emily and Tommy branch off of our previous discussion, shifting the focus from bringing movie characters into the real world, to pondering which movie worlds we would and wouldn't want to enter.  Is it worth going in to a world of magic if you're stuck being a muggle? Which would be a bigger nightmare, a world with Zombies or Aliens?  Once again we opened this discussion up to our listeners to share their thoughts via the thismovieis Instagram.

    Movie Characters We'd Bring Into The Real World

    Today Emily and Tommy engage in some discussion inspired from having previously watched "Last Action Hero", in which Arnold Schwarzenegger's Jack Slater character was eventually brought into that film's real world.  We wondered which movie character would we bring into our real world if given the chance, and asked our listeners to chime in via the thismovieis Instagram with their responses.  Who has the best answer?  It's not a competition, but there is a clear winner.

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    Happy holidays everyone! Today we are discussing Ron Howard's 2000 film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” starring Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen. Tommy explains his issues with this rendition of a classic Christmas tale, whilst maintaining appreciation for its practical effects and set design, and later Emily recalls a cringe-worthy moment when she received a present she did not care for. We also discuss the difference in family movies now and then and notice some very intriguing/inappropriate moments not suitable for children in the film.
